"content": " Hon. Speaker, I returned from Isiolo yesterday and five of the nine deceased persons are my close relatives. For those who have gone to Isiolo, I can assure you that what is currently happening there is not something that can wait for the next two weeks; so many lives will be lost. I have no iota of doubt in my mind that if drastic action is not taken now, many lives will be lost. We have had a very difficult time trying to cool those people not to carry out revenge attacks. It is simple. There are only two options available here. One is carry out disarmament in communities that have continuously carried out killings of innocent people. The second one is to deploy the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR), who are under the National Police Service. That will only require the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary to check the records and take action. I want to plead with my good friend, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, not to take long. We need to save lives and livelihoods of that population. This should be seen as something unique; a lifesaving action. I plead that something be done about it in the next six days. If not, we should expect more killings."
